29     Section 1.  Subsection (32) of section 163.3164, Florida
30Statutes, is amended to read:
31     163.3164  Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land
32Development Regulation Act; definitions.--As used in this act:
33     (32)  "Financial feasibility" means that sufficient
34revenues are currently available or will be available from
35committed funding sources for the first 3 years, or will be
36available from committed or planned funding sources for years 4
37and 5, of a 5-year capital improvement schedule for financing
38capital improvements, such as ad valorem taxes, bonds, state and
39federal funds, tax revenues, impact fees, and developer
40contributions, which are adequate to fund the projected costs of
41the capital improvements identified in the comprehensive plan
42necessary to ensure that adopted level-of-service standards are
43achieved and maintained within the period covered by the 5-year
44schedule of capital improvements. The requirement that level-of-
45service standards be achieved and maintained shall not apply if
46the proportionate fair-share mitigation proportionate-share
47process set forth in s. 163.3180(12) and (16) is used.
48     Section 2.  Paragraph (c) of subsection (13) of section
49163.3177, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
50     163.3177  Required and optional elements of comprehensive
51plan; studies and surveys.--
52     (13)  Local governments are encouraged to develop a
53community vision that provides for sustainable growth,
54recognizes its fiscal constraints, and protects its natural
55resources. At the request of a local government, the applicable
56regional planning council shall provide assistance in the
57development of a community vision.
58     (c)  As part of the workshops and public meetings, the
59local government must discuss strategies for addressing the
60topics discussed under paragraph (b), including:
61     1.  Strategies to preserve open space and environmentally
62sensitive lands, and to encourage a healthy agricultural
63economy, including innovative planning and development
64strategies, such as the transfer of development rights;
65     2.  Incentives for mixed-use development, including
66increased height and intensity standards for buildings that
67provide residential use in combination with office or commercial
68space;
69     3.  Incentives for workforce housing;
70     4.  Designation of an urban service boundary pursuant to
71subsection (14) (2); and
72     5.  Strategies to provide mobility within the community and
73to protect the Strategic Intermodal System, including the
74development of a transportation corridor management plan under
75s. 337.273.
76     Section 3.  Paragraph (c) of subsection (2), paragraph (f)
77of subsection (5), subsection (7), paragraphs (e) and (f) of
78subsection (13), and paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (e), and (f) of
79subsection (16) of section 163.3180, Florida Statutes, are
80amended to read:
81     163.3180  Concurrency.--
82     (2)
83     (c)  Consistent with the public welfare, and except as
84otherwise provided in this section, transportation facilities
85needed to serve new development shall be in place or under
86actual construction or programmed for construction to commence
87in the Department of Transportation's work program or the local
88government's schedule of capital improvements within 3 years
89after the local government approves a building permit or its
90functional equivalent that results in traffic generation.
91     (5)
92     (f)  Prior to the designation of a concurrency exception
93area, the Department of Transportation shall be consulted by the
94local government to assess the impact that the proposed
95exception area is expected to have on the adopted level-of-
96service standards established for Strategic Intermodal System
97facilities, as defined in s. 339.64, and roadway facilities
98funded in accordance with s. 339.2819. Further, the local
99government shall, in cooperation with the Department of
100Transportation, develop a plan to mitigate any impacts to the
101Strategic Intermodal System, including, if appropriate, the
102development of a long-term concurrency management system
103pursuant to subsection (9) and s. 163.3177(3)(d). The exceptions
104may be available only within the specific geographic area of the
105jurisdiction designated in the plan. Pursuant to s. 163.3184,
106any affected person may challenge a plan amendment establishing
107these guidelines and the areas within which an exception could
108be granted. By October 1, 2006, the Department of
109Transportation, after publicly noticed workshops, shall publish
110and distribute to local governments a policy guideline
111containing criteria and options to assist local governments in
112planning to assess and mitigate the impacts of a proposed
113concurrency exception area as described in this paragraph.
114     (7)  In order to promote infill development and
115redevelopment, one or more transportation concurrency management
116areas may be designated in a local government comprehensive
117plan. A transportation concurrency management area must be a
118compact geographic area with an existing network of roads where
119multiple, viable alternative travel paths or modes are available
120for common trips. A local government may establish an areawide
121level-of-service standard for such a transportation concurrency
122management area based upon an analysis that provides for a
123justification for the areawide level of service, how urban
124infill development or redevelopment will be promoted, and how
125mobility will be accomplished within the transportation
126concurrency management area. Prior to the designation of a
127concurrency management area, the Department of Transportation
128shall be consulted by the local government to assess the impact
129that the proposed concurrency management area is expected to
130have on the adopted level-of-service standards established for
131Strategic Intermodal System facilities, as defined in s. 339.64,
132and roadway facilities funded in accordance with s. 339.2819.
133Further, the local government shall, in cooperation with the
134Department of Transportation, develop a plan to mitigate any
135impacts to the Strategic Intermodal System, including, if
136appropriate, the development of a long-term concurrency
137management system pursuant to subsection (9) and s.
138163.3177(3)(d). Transportation concurrency management areas
139existing prior to July 1, 2005, shall meet, at a minimum, the
140provisions of this section by July 1, 2006, or at the time of
141the comprehensive plan update pursuant to the evaluation and
142appraisal report, whichever occurs last. The state land planning
143agency shall amend chapter 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code, to
144be consistent with this subsection. By October 1, 2006, the
145Department of Transportation, after publicly noticed workshops,
146shall publish and distribute to local governments a policy
147guideline containing criteria and options to assist local
148governments in planning to assess and mitigate the impacts of a
149proposed concurrency management area as described in this
150paragraph.
151     (13)  School concurrency shall be established on a
152districtwide basis and shall include all public schools in the
153district and all portions of the district, whether located in a
154municipality or an unincorporated area unless exempt from the
155public school facilities element pursuant to s. 163.3177(12).
156The application of school concurrency to development shall be
157based upon the adopted comprehensive plan, as amended. All local
158governments within a county, except as provided in paragraph
159(f), shall adopt and transmit to the state land planning agency
160the necessary plan amendments, along with the interlocal
161agreement, for a compliance review pursuant to s. 163.3184(7)
162and (8). The minimum requirements for school concurrency are the
163following:
164     (e)  Availability standard.--Consistent with the public
165welfare, a local government may not deny an application for site
166plan, final subdivision approval, or the functional equivalent
167for a development or phase of a development authorizing
168residential development for failure to achieve and maintain the
169level-of-service standard for public school capacity in a local
170school concurrency management system where adequate school
171facilities will be in place or under actual construction within
1723 years after the issuance of final subdivision or site plan
173approval, or the functional equivalent. School concurrency shall
174be satisfied if the developer executes a legally binding
175commitment to provide proportionate fair-share mitigation
176proportionate to the demand for public school facilities to be
177created by actual development of the property, including, but
178not limited to, the options described in subparagraph 1. Options
179for proportionate fair-share proportionate-share mitigation of
180impacts on public school facilities shall be established in the
181public school facilities element and the interlocal agreement
182pursuant to s. 163.31777.
183     1.  Appropriate proportionate fair-share mitigation options
184include the contribution of land; the construction, expansion,
185or payment for land acquisition or construction of a public
186school facility; or the creation of mitigation banking based on
187the construction of a public school facility in exchange for the
188right to sell capacity credits. Such options must include
189execution by the applicant and the local government of a binding
190development agreement that constitutes a legally binding
191commitment to pay proportionate fair-share proportionate-share
192mitigation for the additional residential units approved by the
193local government in a development order and actually developed
194on the property, taking into account residential density allowed
195on the property prior to the plan amendment that increased
196overall residential density. The district school board shall be
197a party to such an agreement. As a condition of its entry into
198such a development agreement, the local government may require
199the landowner to agree to continuing renewal of the agreement
200upon its expiration.
201     2.  If the education facilities plan and the public
202educational facilities element authorize a contribution of land;
203the construction, expansion, or payment for land acquisition; or
204the construction or expansion of a public school facility, or a
205portion thereof, as proportionate fair-share proportionate-share
206mitigation, the local government shall credit such a
207contribution, construction, expansion, or payment toward any
208other impact fee or exaction imposed by local ordinance for the
209same need, on a dollar-for-dollar basis at fair market value.
210     3.  Any proportionate fair-share proportionate-share
211mitigation must be directed by the school board toward a school
212capacity improvement identified in a financially feasible 5-year
213district work plan and which satisfies the demands created by
214that development in accordance with a binding developer's
215agreement.
216     4.  This paragraph does not limit the authority of a local
217government to deny a development permit or its functional
218equivalent pursuant to its home rule regulatory powers, except
219as provided in this part.
220     (f)  Intergovernmental coordination.--
221     1.  When establishing concurrency requirements for public
222schools, a local government shall satisfy the requirements for
223intergovernmental coordination set forth in s. 163.3177(6)(h)1.
224and 2., except that a municipality is not required to be a
225signatory to the interlocal agreement required by ss.
226163.3177(6)(h)2. and 163.31777(6), as a prerequisite for
227imposition of school concurrency, and as a nonsignatory, shall
228not participate in the adopted local school concurrency system,
229if the municipality meets all of the following criteria for
230having no significant impact on school attendance:
231     a.  The municipality has issued development orders for
232fewer than 50 residential dwelling units during the preceding 5
233years, or the municipality has generated fewer than 25
234additional public school students during the preceding 5 years.
235     b.  The municipality has not annexed new land during the
236preceding 5 years in land use categories which permit
237residential uses that will affect school attendance rates.
238     c.  The municipality has no public schools located within
239its boundaries.
240     d.  At least 80 percent of the developable land within the
241boundaries of the municipality has been built upon.
242     2.  A municipality which qualifies as having no significant
243impact on school attendance pursuant to the criteria of
244subparagraph 1. must review and determine at the time of its
245evaluation and appraisal report pursuant to s. 163.3191 whether
246it continues to meet the criteria pursuant to s. 163.31777(6).
247If the municipality determines that it no longer meets the
248criteria, it must adopt appropriate school concurrency goals,
249objectives, and policies in its plan amendments based on the
250evaluation and appraisal report, and enter into the existing
251interlocal agreement required by ss. 163.3177(6)(h)2. and
252163.31777, in order to fully participate in the school
253concurrency system. If such a municipality fails to do so, it
254will be subject to the enforcement provisions of s. 163.3191.
255     (16)  It is the intent of the Legislature to provide a
256method by which the impacts of development on transportation
257facilities can be mitigated by the cooperative efforts of the
258public and private sectors. The methodology used to calculate
259proportionate fair-share mitigation under this section shall be
260as provided for in subsection (12).
261     (a)  By December 1, 2006, each local government shall adopt
262by ordinance a methodology for assessing proportionate fair-
263share mitigation options. A local government that fails to adopt
264a methodology for assessing proportionate fair-share mitigation
265options by December 1, 2006, shall be subject to the sanctions
266described in s. 163.3184(11)(a) imposed by the Administration
267Commission. By December 1, 2005, the Department of
268Transportation shall develop a model transportation concurrency
269management ordinance with methodologies for assessing
270proportionate fair-share mitigation options.
271     (b)1.  In its transportation concurrency management system,
272a local government shall, by December 1, 2006, include
273methodologies that will be applied to calculate proportionate
274fair-share mitigation. A local government that fails to include
275such methodologies by December 1, 2006, shall be subject to the
276sanctions described in s. 163.3184(11)(a) imposed by the
277Administration Commission. A developer may choose to satisfy all
278transportation concurrency requirements by contributing or
279paying proportionate fair-share mitigation if transportation
280facilities or facility segments identified as mitigation for
281traffic impacts are specifically identified for funding in the
2825-year schedule of capital improvements in the capital
283improvements element of the local plan or the long-term
284concurrency management system or if such contributions or
285payments to such facilities or segments are reflected in the 5-
286year schedule of capital improvements in the next regularly
287scheduled update of the capital improvements element. Updates to
288the 5-year capital improvements element which reflect
289proportionate fair-share contributions may not be found not in
290compliance based on ss. 163.3164(32) 163.164(32) and 163.3177(3)
291if additional contributions, payments or funding sources are
292reasonably anticipated during a period not to exceed 10 years to
293fully mitigate impacts on the transportation facilities.
294     2.  Proportionate fair-share mitigation shall be applied as
295a credit against impact fees to the extent that all or a portion
296of the proportionate fair-share mitigation is used to address
297the same capital infrastructure improvements contemplated by the
298local government's impact fee ordinance.
299     (c)  Proportionate fair-share mitigation includes, without
300limitation, separately or collectively, private funds,
301contributions of land, and construction and contribution of
302facilities and may include public funds as determined by the
303local government. The fair market value of the proportionate
304fair-share mitigation shall not differ based on the form of
305mitigation. A local government may not require a development to
306pay more than its proportionate fair-share mitigation
307contribution regardless of the method of mitigation.
308     (e)  Mitigation for development impacts to facilities on
309the Strategic Intermodal System made pursuant to this subsection
310requires the concurrence of the Department of Transportation.
311The department has 60 days from the date of submission by the
312applicable local government to concur or withhold concurrence
313with the mitigation of development impacts to facilities on the
314Strategic Intermodal System. If the department does not respond
315within the 60-day period, the department is deemed to have
316concurred with the mitigation.
317     (f)  If In the event the funds in an adopted 5-year capital
318improvements element are insufficient to fully fund construction
319of a transportation improvement required by the local
320government's concurrency management system, a local government
321and a developer may still enter into a binding proportionate
322fair-share mitigation proportionate-share agreement authorizing
323the developer to construct that amount of development on which
324the proportionate fair-share mitigation proportionate share is
325calculated if the proportionate fair-share mitigation
326proportionate-share amount in such agreement is sufficient to
327pay for one or more improvements which will, in the opinion of
328the governmental entity or entities maintaining the
329transportation facilities, significantly benefit the impacted
330transportation system. The improvement or improvements funded by
331the proportionate fair-share mitigation proportionate-share
332component must be adopted into the 5-year capital improvements
333schedule of the comprehensive plan at the next annual capital
334improvements element update.
335     Section 4.  Subsection (17) of section 163.3184, Florida
336Statutes, is amended to read:
337     163.3184  Process for adoption of comprehensive plan or
338plan amendment.--
339     (17)  A local government that has adopted a community
340vision and urban service boundary under s. 163.3177(13)

351163.3187(3)(a) to challenge the compliance of an adopted plan
352amendment. This subsection does not apply to any amendment
353within an area of critical state concern, to any amendment that
354increases residential densities allowable in high-hazard coastal
355areas as defined in s. 163.3178(2)(h), or to a text change to
356the goals, policies, or objectives of the local government's

479receive an amount from the school capital outlay surtax
480authorized in s. 212.055(6) that, when added to the nonvoted
481discretionary capital outlay millage collected, equals the
482amount that would be generated if the full 2 mills of nonvoted
483discretionary capital outlay millage had been collected over the
484past 3 fiscal years.
485     (b)  The district must receive, in the current fiscal year,
486revenue from the collection of an impact fee specifically for
487schools and revenue from the collection of one of the following:
488     1.  A local government infrastructure sales surtax
489authorized in s. 212.055(2) in which a portion is dedicated for

496     3.  A local bond referendum as authorized in ss. 1010.40-
4971010.55. Fifty percent of the revenue derived from the 2-mill
498nonvoted discretionary capital outlay millage for the past 4
499fiscal years, when divided by the district's growth in capital
500outlay FTE students over this period, produces a value that is
501less than the average cost per student station calculated
502pursuant to s. 1013.72(2), and weighted by statewide growth in
503capital outlay FTE students in elementary, middle, and high
504schools for the past 4 fiscal years.
505     (c)  The district must have equaled or exceeded three times
506twice the statewide average of growth in capital outlay FTE
507students over this same 3-year 4-year period.
508     (d)  The district must not have received an appropriation
509from the special facilities construction program in the current
510fiscal year. The Commissioner of Education must have released
511all funds allocated to the district from the Classrooms First
512Program authorized in s. 1013.68, and these funds were fully
513expended by the district as of February 1 of the current fiscal
514year.
515     (e)  The total capital outlay FTE students of the district
516is greater than 15,000 students.
517     (3)  The funds provided in the General Appropriations Act
518shall be allocated pursuant to the following methodology:
519     (a)  Each eligible district school board shall receive an
520amount from the Public Education Capital Outlay and Debt Service
521Trust Fund to be calculated by computing the capital outlay
522full-time equivalent membership as determined by the department.
523Such membership must include, but is not limited to:
524     1.  K-12 students, except hospital and homebound part-time
525students; and
526     2.  Students who are career education students and adult
527disabled students and who are enrolled in school district career
528centers. For each eligible district, the Department of Education
529shall calculate the value of 50 percent of the revenue derived
530from the 2-mill nonvoted discretionary capital outlay millage
531for the past 4 fiscal years divided by the increase in capital
532outlay FTE students for the same period.
533     (b)  The capital outlay full-time equivalent membership
534shall be determined for kindergarten through grade 12 and for
535career centers by averaging the unweighted full-time equivalent
536membership for the second and third surveys and comparing the
537results on a school-by-school basis with the Florida Inventory
538for School Houses. The capital outlay full-time equivalent
539membership by grade-level organization shall be used in making
540the following calculation: the capital outlay full-time
541equivalent membership by grade-level organization for the prior
542year must be used to compute the growth over the highest of the
5433 years preceding the prior year. The Department of Education
544shall determine, for each eligible district, the amount that
545must be added to the value calculated pursuant to paragraph (a)
546to produce the weighted average value per student station
547calculated pursuant to paragraph (2)(b).
548     (c)  The total amount appropriated by the Legislature
549pursuant to this subsection shall be allocated among the growth
550capital outlay full-time equivalent membership. The allocation
551shall be prorated to the districts based upon each district's
552percentage of growth capital outlay full-time equivalent
553membership. The most recent 4-year capital outlay full-time
554equivalent membership data shall be used in each subsequent
555year's calculation for the allocation of funds pursuant to this
556subsection. If a change, correction, or recomputation of data
557during any year results in a reduction or increase of the
558calculated amount previously allocated to a district, the
559allocation to that district shall be adjusted correspondingly.
560If such recomputation results in an increase or decrease of the
561calculated amount, such additional or reduced amounts shall be
562added to or reduced from the district's future appropriations.
563However, no change, correction, or recomputation of data shall
564be made subsequent to 2 years following the initial annual
565allocation. The value calculated for each eligible district
566pursuant to paragraph (b) shall be multiplied by the average
567increase in capital outlay FTE students for the past 4 fiscal
568years to determine the maximum amount of a grant that may be
569awarded to a district pursuant to this section.
570     (d)  In the event the funds provided in the General
571Appropriations Act are insufficient to fully fund the maximum
572grants calculated pursuant to paragraph (c), the Department of
573Education shall allocate the funds based on each district's
574prorated share of the total maximum award amount calculated for
575all eligible districts.
576     Section 11.  Paragraph (a) of subsection (2) of section 27
577of chapter 2005-290, Laws of Florida, is amended to read:
578     Section 27.
